This is Mid Summer’s Eve, the time of the summer solstice, one of Lina’s favorite times of the year. So I’m called to leave a comment for her, and for you Craig, and for the girls on this day in June.

Mid Summer’s Eve was known in ancient times as St. John’s Eve, after the patron saint of beekeepers–a time when hives were full of nourishing honey, and when the moon was called the Mead Moon, because of its promise of nectar and sweetness. It was also believed that Midsummer’s dew carried special powers, and that herbal plants maturing now had magical energy that enabled healing and bestowed good health.

I want to recall and honor this summer solstice season especially thinking of Lina, and believing that if our beehive could give up its honey to her, or if we could somehow act as her healing plants, she would be well again. In our hearts, we the bees, offer our metaphorical nectar and herbs in the form of love to her, and to our best beekeeper, St. Craig, and to his special helpers, Chloe and Moriah. I know I speak for all of us when I say you are all in our thoughts and prayers every day.

Much love, and may the healing at solstice time prevail.

I am so hoping she will get to have a trial at home…so many people are confused in the hospital setting and then go back to being normal at home. I know Lina has mitigating circumstances, but it has the potential of being better in her own environment. I love the Halloween story!!! Isn’t it wonderful she has her sense of humor in the midst of alternative realities! What a blessing! Hugs to you all. Susan

Lina is making this journey one step at a time, in her own unique way. The positive is that her digestive system is working. That wasn’t looking so good a few weeks ago. So I am celebrating that, we’ll see where the rest follows. So…Craig as you hope for the best, yet take the doctor’s warning and plan and prepare for the worse, know that we are all with you all, with support and love. I have faith in Lina, you and the doctors – and hope the insurance company will come through. Enjoy your ball game – Lina will want to hear all about it (I still marvel that she’s such a fan). I’ll call Lina today. Eileen
p.s. your girl Chloe is magnificent – what a joyous graduation celebration for a wonderful talented girl!!

Dear Craig and Lina: We are hoping and praying for the best. You are in our constant thoughts and we hope that both of you have the strength to continue to fight this battle. Thank you Craig, for keeping us informed. Now that the Celtics have won their championship maybe their good luck charm will bring good luck for you two, as well. As we say, from my mouth to God’s ear. Fondly, the Weinswigs of Madison, Wis.

Hi Craig, Chloe and Moriah,

I will be in New Hampshire next week and plan to go to Boston for a day to see Lina. My last visit with her was good and although she was confused at times, we had some good conversations and I was happy I got to spend some time with her. Evelyn, Priscilla and Bob had been
there the day before me and she talked about how good it
was to see them and how glad she was they had gotten to
see Chloe graduate and had brought her pictures of the
graduation day.

Harriet, if you know what day you will be visiting, perhaps you could let me know through this site so that we can spread our visits out a bit.

Thanks for the latest update, Craig, and lots of love to all of you.

Moie

Hi Craig,
I’m coming to Boston on Tuesday to see Lina. I arrive late Monday evening in Portland and will drive in to see her Tuesday. Please let me know if there is a problem with that schedule.
Thanks,
Joyce
